OneMoreFarang Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Today I was with my gf when she tried to get money from the ATM machine. After she inserted her card and correct PIN number there was a strange menu. It was all in Thai. It included pictures of the Angry Birds game and other game pictures. What is going on? Is that some kind of marketing to spend money on Angry Bird stickers? Or maybe let's play a game before you get the money? Strange! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digbeth Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 does she has angry bird picture on her ATM card? I know K bank do a lot of limited edition ones K bank special card will have same theme picture on the menu screen when used in their ATM maybe you always used it at the wrong ATM and it never show the picture until now or if she didn't have angry birds card, the machine is broken somehow and showed her the menus supposed to be for the angry birds card owner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think her card has any angry bird picture or anything similar on the card. As far as I know it's just a standard boring K-Bank ATM card. And most of the time she deducts money at the K-Bank ATM and she was not used to that menu. She was confused what that is/was about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gets me upset sometimes is the ATM says my card is time expired when it's not. So I put it in again and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phetphet Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 The only Angry Birds I see at the ATM are the ones waiting behind those Thais that keep drawing money on multiple cards. Takes ages. Drives me mad as well. Why do they do it? Never looks to be big sums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 To all the guys who seems to be a little confused about the thing with the Thai gf: Normally when I use the ATM I switch the language to English and I don't remember seeing any Angry Birds menu when I used the ATM. This is why I mentioned that this happened when my Thai gf used it, because she obviously uses Thai language. The Thai language didn't surprise me or her. The Angry Birds surprised her and then I looked at the ATM and the also surprised me. Now if you want to discuss your gfs maybe open your own thread about my one is different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a tad angry when my visiting mates call them "stupid". Thais seem to be mostly uneducated, schools just don't cut it. That is not the kids fault. But when I need handyman job done around the house they are brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
